A woman was killed Monday morning when a car struck her while she was lying in a business parking lot on the 2500 block of Long Beach Boulevard, police say.
Officers were dispatched to the scene at 10:42 a.m., where they found the woman in the parking stall, lying underneath a pile of blankets, according to police. She was pronounced dead on the scene.
The 27-year-old driver of the 2010 Scion XB that struck the woman remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said. Neither alcohol, drugs, nor distracted driving are believed to be a factor in the collision for the driver, according to authorities.
The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office is now tasked with identifying the woman and notifying any next-of-kin.
